Our President
It is with great joy and excitement that I welcome you on behalf of the 2024-2025 Advisory and Executive Boards of the Barristers’ Association of Philadelphia, Inc. to our website!
The Barristers’ Association of Philadelphia was established to serve as a proactive organization aimed at combating racial discrimination against Black lawyers, particularly regarding bar admission. Since its inception.
Our Mission
Today, The Barristers’ Association of Philadelphia, Inc. continues to provide a very important and unique role for its members by providing a forum for discussion and dissemination of information of matters of particular interest to Black attorneys and the Philadelphia Black community at large.
